As I have said on other sites:

"temporary workers"

meaning, they were not permanent staff to begin with and they knew and went into the job knowing that their jobs would not last long term. So really, these "cuts" were going to happen sooner or later just by the nature of the contract signed. I don't know why it is such a shock that 190 people who only had temporary positions got laid off.

well nonpermanent stuff is normal in germany, much cheaper than regular staff.  it not a temporary solution most of the time.
